I'm no expert, but I have done approx. 4 or 5 shells recently using rattle cans. I've used Tamiya and it has been brilliant - no flaking at all, even with my poor driving and spectacular crashing.
I was advised to wash shell with fairy liquid before and allow to dry. I have masked with cheap b&q tape as well as most recently with liquid mask and have been able to do pretty good designs and fades (not to standards of experts, but enough to look good on a track)
Best advise would be to do "more thin layers" rather than fewer "thick layers"
